You should put a (short) time limit on that one. The market is slow
and his sale could stretch out, with your boat off the market. Better
to have a contingency that says he has x days to obtain satisfactory
financing, otherwise no deal or he pays penalties from his deposit for
extensions.

I wasn't very clear or detailed about the offer. The closing (if it
occurs)
has to be within 35 calendar days from yesterday per the purchase
agreement.
With our signed acceptance, he is required to submit a deposit to the
broker
and his current boat is under contract/agreement with a scheduled closing
on
Dec 10. The financing, survey and sea trial are pretty standard, so I
think
it's a reasonable time frame.

This offer came out of the blue .... I had officially taken the Navigator
off the market as of November 15th. As much as I like the boat I don't
want
to keep two of them and in the current market decent offers are becoming
far
and few between.

I forbid you to sell the Navigator until I can talk Mrs. Wave into it.
Or take a ride on it.

Ok - ok - I got a carried away there - sorry. :)

Good luck with it, but I still think you are going to miss it.

Now, if someone happens along and buys the GB as well ... and apparently
there is a serious, interested party for it as well, I've got my eye on
something else. It may take some doing to get it approved by the
Admiral,
however.

Hmmmmm - mega yacht?

DUDE!! I'll go halfsies with you.

Think we can get some weapons for it?

WHOO HOO!!

And now, I must go freeze me thingies off testing another boat on the
CT river.

This one is going to suck - it's a bass boat.

They are if you keep them in the bay and/or river. You will make a big
splash heading up the Mystic River.

By any definition a bubble boat. No "Low Transom" worries there.

Wonder if you could talk local donut king, Ron Joyce, out of this sailboat.

Which end is the bow?
Actually, I'd consider a decent sized sailboat but it's out of the question
according to the Admiral. A replacement boat right now will most likely be
a trawler type, but a bit bigger than the GB36.

Reality check time. *If* the sale of the Navigator goes through, we'll
probably keep the GB36 for a while. It's cheap to run, in good shape and is
small enough for me to easily single-hand.
I had some reservations with the single engine/rudder thing until I got the
hang of "back and fill", so that's not a huge issue anymore.

It would also be ideal for a leisurely trip down the ICW next winter.
Although not as comfortable and roomy as the Navigator, I spent a lot of
time on it this past summer and enjoyed it.

But, then again, I wonder if the guy we bought the 36 from now wants to sell
his 49 footer.

You might want to come down to annapolis this spring and check out
trawler alley. Also, there are or were some really spiffy Nordic and
American Tugs for sale at a local marina. Five of them, last time I
drove by.
